Chat_101 - The Bitcoin Civil War is Over! with Guy Swann [Anarchast]
"The most powerful thing that Bitcoin did was establish a monetary foundation, a monetary policy that was not alterablethrough a shallow, short term social consensus. That the protocol determines the rules, and then everyone is only able to fight within those rules, and any changes that are made can only occur within those rules, and anybody who tries to break those rules are necessarily forking off. And if they do not get overwhelming support to do that, the change simply doesn't succeed." -Guy Swann
Today, I'm excited to bring you a special episode featuring a marathon conversation I had on the Anarchast podcast,hosted by Patrick Smith. As a "big blocker" and supporter of Bitcoin Cash, Patrick and I delve into the heart of the Bitcoin Civil War, exploring the contentious debates between small and big block proponents.In this in-depth discussion, we cover the contrasting perspectives of small and big block advocates, discussing "revelations" from Roger Ver's new book. We also discuss the critical implications of block size on Bitcoin's future, decentralization, and security.This debate is one of my favorites, offering a comprehensive view of the trade-offs and arguments that shaped Bitcoin's history. Whether you're new to the debate or a seasoned Bitcoin enthusiast, this episode is packed with valuable insights.Tune in and join us as we navigate the complexities of the Blocksize War.

Read_827 - The Conflict of Men's Interests

Read_826 - The Supreme Court Ruling and Implications for Operation Choke Point
"In NRA, the Court addressed a critical issue impacting not only traditional advocacy groups but any disfavored, but legal, industry. This ruling draws parallels to Operation Choke Point 2.0, where U.S. regulators have allegedly been targeting crypto businesses through financial exclusion. Moreover, the recent _Cantero_ decision sheds light on how this legal framework might impact Custodia Bank's appeal against the denial of their master account by the Federal Reserve." - Colin Crossman
Multiple verdicts recently came down from the Supreme Court, and they may very well end up being ammunition to fight back against the gross regulatory overreach and extralegal attacks on the Bitcoin and crypto ecosystem. How might they change the fight against Operation Choke Point 2.0, squeezing the crypto market out of financial access, and how could it impact Custodia Bank's rejection and ongoing battle to get an account at the Federal Reserve? Find out what it means, and what we may be able to do about it, in a great article from Colin Crossman.
